pinterest had actual humans using it in the first place? it just seemed to generate nonsense posts out of the ether

you don't even have to go vegan, just dropping beef is great and if you also drop pork you've nuked a whole lot of emissions

except that in a LOT of places people can literally just stop driving to work tomorrow and barely notice a difference, my dad switched to e-bike and simply never drove again after his first ride.

just imagine if all the local workers in a town of 20k stop driving at once, what a massive impact that would have on things.

not me thinking of small displays for DIY projects

it's the un-antialiased text that does it

IMO the big problem with democracy is just how we structure it, in most of the world it's still using a system designed for an age where everyone was busy farming and it took representatives 3 weeks to travel to the capital.

like, 4-year terms are obviously insane, right? Things happen way too fucking fast for it to make sense that a guy gets to be in charge for 4 fucking years and we just can't do shit if it turns out they were lying.

And the reprensentative system also obviously doesn't work, no one knows their representatives, they aren't representing shit. A human cannot represent thousands of people, we literally don't have the fucking mental capacity or time for that!
Representatives should be way way way way way way way way... way way way way more local, they should be someone you can literally discuss things with over a cup of coffee, someone you can actually comfortably call if you're worried about a piece of legislation.

i mean the makeup sucks, frankly. I don't understand why it has become normal to dip your head in a bucket of concealer..
Feels like the equivalent of guys who think more muscle == more betterer until they just look like balloon animals.

it's like how in ancient rome it was masculine to fuck another guy, but feminine to take up the butt.
No no, i didn't fuck the robot, the robot fucked me! I'm innocent!

it never ceases to astound me how our bodies seem eager to become masculine, but going in the other direction is a massive struggle
why, we all start with a female body plan, surely that should be easier to revert to???

a depressing amount of places have genuinely bad tap water, even if it's perfectly drinkable it might be so mineralized that it leaves a crust on your teeth, or so devoid of minerals that it barely even registers as water to your tastebuds.

Some of the most delicious water i've tasted came from an old hand-pumped well, which had presumably spent 100 years leeching metal into the water.
